The world, having troubles of its own, decides to send a colony of women, all with various backgrounds, to start a new colony. The only problem is, once they get there, they find another race has already begun living on the planet. After a 15 year long trip with no male companions, the all male race is too tempting to resist.

Eden, aptly named, is the commander of the colony, and one of the first to acquire a harem of her own. It was not one of those things that she had planned, but it was a mistake that was hard to correct after the initial first contact with the new race.

Eden fights a constant struggle to keep up with not only the day to day life of her own colony, but the harem that she unwittingly created.

The constant struggle between the two races to co-exist was a very interesting one, mainly because of the way the Xtanian's interact with the females of the new colony, who were not used to seeing so many women in one place.

All and all, I think that the book had just the right amount of resisting, and blending of their two cultures. This book held my attention all the way through. It's a definite recommended read.
